Following last month’s U.S. Department of Justice[2] crackdown on three of the largest poker sites operating in the country, PokerStars has begun refunding money to players.

Ryan Spraggins of Manitou Springs saidhe received a $937.44 check from PokerStars today. He initiated his withdrawal on May 16.

“It’s from FNB Central Texas and noted ‘Memo: POKERSTARS REFUND CHECK,'” Spraggins wrote in an email.

Spraggins hasn’t had much luck trying to withdraw his $1,800 balance from Full Tilt Poker.

“I have emailed them several times, and their reply is always the same,” Spraggins said.

Full Tilt’s response:

‘We’re committed to making sure that US players are refunded as soon as possible. We apologize for the delay and the fact that we underestimated the time it would take to work through these issues. We will update our US players as soon as we have more specific information to provide.
